reform. Private schools existed, but only for the very rich. There were very few public schools because of thestrong sentiment that children who would grow up to be laborers should not waste their time on education

but should instead prepare themselves for their lifes work. It was in the face of this public sentiment thateducational reformers set about their task. Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt thatthere was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated. As Superintendent of Education in the stateof Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiatedvarious changes, which were soon matched in other schooldistricts around the country. He extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of

teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries. Although these changes did not bringabout a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased public awareness as to the needfor a further strengthening of the system.

c kon vn sau v chn phng n ng (ng vi A hoc B, C, D) cho mi cu t66n 75.It is hard to think of a world without gas or electricity. Both are commonly used for lighting and heating

today. We now can instantly flick a lighter or strike a match to make a flame. But it was not long ago thatthere were no such things as matches or lighters. To make fire, it was necessary to strike a piece of iron on flintfor sparks to ignite some tinder. If the tinder was damp, or the flint old, you had to borrow some fire from aneighbor.

We do not know exactly when or how people first used fire. Perhaps, many ages ago, they found that stickswould burn if they were dropped into some hole where melted lava from a volcano lay boiling. They brought

the lighted sticks back to make their fire in a cave. Or, they may have seen trees catch fire through being struckby lightning, and used the trees to start their own fires.

Gradually people learned they could start a fire without traveling far to find flames. They rubbed two piecesof wood together. This method was used for thousands of years.

When people became used to making fires with which to cook food and stay warm at night, they found thatcertain resins or gums from trees burnt longer and brighter. They melted resins and dipped branches in theliquid to make torches that lit their homes at night. Iron stands in which torches used to be fixed can still beseen in old buildings of Europe.

There was no lighting in city streets until gas lamps, and then electric lamps were installed. Boys ran aboutLondon at night carrying torches of burning material. They were called torch boys, or link boys, and earned aliving by guiding visitors to friends houses at night.

For centuries homes were lit by candles until oil was found. Even then, oil lamps were no more effectivethan a cluster of candles. We read about the splendors and marvels of ancient palaces and castles, but weforget that they must have been gloomy and murky places at night.

Cu 67: To make a fire in times just before the advent of matches, it was essential to have access to ______.A. a burning fire or to possess flint B. a burning fire or to possess ironC. flint, iron and dry tinder D. a magnifying glass

Cu 68: The first fire used by people was probably obtained ______.A. from the suns heat through glass B.by rubbing wood togetherC. from heat or fire caused by nature D.by striking iron against flint

Cu 69: Torches for lighting were made from ______.A. the wood of gum trees B. iron bars dipped in melted resinsC. wooden poles dipped in oil D. tree branches dipped in melted resins
